Chapter 143: A Chaos
The people scolded Dong Zhuo and Xiliangjun angrily, although Liu Wei didn't have much expression on his face, he was quite satisfied in his heart.
"Go to General Zhou and ask him to bring over all the thieves and spies who are convicted of the crime." The people were still scolding the Xiliang Army angrily, and Liu Wei whispered an order to a personal soldier standing behind him.
The soldiers nodded, jumped off the roof, and ran towards the place where the people recognized their relatives.
Standing on the roof, silently listening to the people shouting and scolding Dong Zhuo and Xiliangjun, Liu Wei did not interrupt them, but kept nodding his head, indicating that he had understood their suffering.
After a while, a group of soldiers appeared at the end of the street with more than fifty men whose upper bodies were tightly bound with hemp ropes.
Seeing that the soldiers escorted a group of men out, the people who were complaining to Liu gradually quieted down, and their eyes were full of blankness, all looking at the group of men who were being pushed by the soldiers and were walking towards them.
"Folks!" Seeing that the soldiers brought in the spies of the Xiliang Army who had been convicted, Liu Wei raised his hands, pressed them twice on the people, and shouted to the people standing on the street: "You and others have all been persecuted by the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo's old thieves. The military advisor rescued you and others, and wanted to find a way for you to survive, but the Xiliang army took the opportunity to send spies and mixed in among the villagers. ”
"Kill them!" Seeing the men being escorted out, all the people on the street were all at a loss, but after listening to Liu Wei's words, the people who were originally very dazed suddenly became angry, and a young man who had just recognized his family threw himself at the man who was escorted to the front, and took advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers were not paying attention, punched the man in the face, and shouted: "It was him last night, saying that His Highness was going to kill me and others, let me and others rebel with them!" ”
As soon as the young man shouted like this, the people, who were still a little confused, suddenly became confused, and everyone remembered the inhumane treatment they had suffered on the way to Chang'an when they were forced to leave their hometown.
On the way to migrate, almost all the people had relatives who died along the way, Liu Wei shouted out that this group of men who were escorted by the officers and soldiers were all spies of the Xiliang Army, and they were still a little suspicious, but when the man who waved his fist shouted out the words that these people had instigated him and others to rebel, everyone understood, and rushed towards the more than 50 men who were being escorted.
The people shouted and howled, and their expressions became extremely hideous, and Liu Wei had no doubt that if they were allowed to rush to the front of the more than 50 men, more than 50 people would definitely be smashed into pulp alive by them.
Seeing that the people were in chaos, the officers and soldiers who were escorting the more than 50 men hurriedly stepped forward to stop the people who rushed to the front, but their numbers were too small after all.
The scene was chaotic, Liu Wei, who was standing on the roof, looked down at the angry crowd below, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he did not make a sound to stop the angry people.
Knowing that there was chaos on the street, Zhou Cang led hundreds of officers and soldiers to run over here, and when he saw Zhou Cang running over with people, Liu Wei shook his head at him from afar.
The leader was running towards the chaotic street, Zhou Cang glanced up at Liu Bian, saw Liu Bian shaking his head at him, hurriedly raised his arm, and stopped the officers and soldiers behind him.
The human wall formed by the officers and soldiers who guarded the more than 50 men was still unable to resist the collision of many ordinary people after all, and was scattered.
Breaking through the human wall formed by the officers and soldiers, hundreds of people flocked to the more than 50 men whose upper bodies were tied like zongzi.
Fists and feet rained down on the bodies and faces of the more than fifty people.
The bound men tried to cover their heads with their arms, but their arms were tightly tied and they couldn't lift them at all.
With a miserable howl, a man was punched in the head and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, a group of men and women had already stepped over him and rushed towards the men further back.
Standing on the roof, Liu Wei faintly smelled a faint smell of blood. Looking down, under the impact of the crowd, more than fifty men had already fallen down for the most part.
In addition to those men, some of the people who rushed to the front were also pushed to the ground by the surging crowd, and many of them were trampled and injured, and they were wailing miserably.
"Save the injured folks!" Seeing that some people were trampled on, Liu Wei hurriedly shouted to the officers and soldiers who had retreated to the side.
Dozens of officers and soldiers gathered in a group and advanced towards the crowd, and when they saw the people who had been pushed to the ground, they would immediately protect the seriously injured in the middle, while the lightly injured ones quickly helped them up.
"Folks, be quiet!" More than 50 spies of the Xiliang Army have all been kicked to the ground by the crazy people, and several of them have even been beaten to the point that their brains are overflowing, and they are already dead, Liu Wei raised his hands and shouted at the people continuously: "This king has something to say!" ”
The noise at the scene was very loud, and although Liu Wei let go of his voice and shouted at the people, the shouting was still annihilated by the noisy human voices.
"Stop! Stop! Although the angry people did not hear Liu Wei's shout, the officers and soldiers who blocked the commotion heard it faintly, and dozens of officers and soldiers protected the seriously injured people behind them, pushing the crowd rushing up behind them, shouting loudly.
When the people in front heard the shouting, they leaned back and wanted to stop, but the people behind would immediately push up again, and the scene was still chaotic.
The scene became a little untidy, and Liu Wei waved his hand at Zhou Cang, who was standing on the other side of the street, and pointed to the crowd, signaling him to stop the chaotic crowd.
Zhou Cang, who had been standing in the distance looking at Liu Wei, saw that he made a gesture, hurriedly waved behind him, led a group of officers and soldiers, and threw himself into the crowd.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed into the crowd and stopped the people who were rushing up from behind, and hundreds of people shouted while pushing the chaotic people: "Don't mess around, stop!" ”
The chaotic crowd gradually calmed down amid the pushing and shouting of Zhou Cang and hundreds of officers and soldiers.
When the people stopped the commotion and calmed down, there were several terrible howls from the crowd, followed by many people crying loudly.
Nearly 20,000 people crowded into one street, pushing in one direction, and stampede was inevitable. Although the commotion did not last long, after a chaotic situation, countless people were trampled and injured, including more than a dozen people who were trampled to death.
Looking at the people who had just experienced a riot on the street, Liu Wei also felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
He had expected and even expected this stampede to happen in advance, but seeing innocent people being trampled to death, his heart, which was not cold-blooded, would still feel a throbbing pain after all.
Hundreds of seriously wounded men and women lay on the ground and groaned, and Zhou Cang led the officers and soldiers to carry the corpses of more than a dozen people who had been trampled to death to the middle of the street.
The relatives of the injured were busy caring for the wounded, while the relatives of the deceased threw themselves on the corpse and wailed in pain.
More than 50 spies of the Xiliang Army who were escorted by the officers and soldiers had been trampled on inhuman, and a few of them were even trampled out of their intestines, and their deaths were very miserable.
The noise had ceased, and all that remained in the streets was the wails of the wounded and the cries of the relatives of the dead.
Several light blue lightning bolts flowed at the bottom of the dark clouds, and then several explosions of thunder rang out, and Liu Wei could even feel the sound of the thunder, and the roof under his feet was trembling slightly.
"Folks!" With a bit of sadness in his eyes, Liu Wei looked down at all the people present and shouted to them: "Many villagers were injured today, and more than a dozen villagers died here, you say, whose fault is this?" ”
"Xiliang Army!" The chaos started because of the spies of the Xiliang Army, and the people who had been bullied by the Xiliang Army, after Liu Wei asked them, they all shouted out the same name that they hated the most in their hearts!
"Yes!" Looking down at the people present, Liu Biantie blushed, and then shouted to them: "The Xiliang army burned your home and killed your relatives, they are not enough!" I will also send lackeys to mix with you, trying to destroy the Great Sun and enslave you again! The villagers who are injured and killed today are also suffering because of their persecution! You say, are you still willing to let the Xiliang army enslave? ”
"I don't want to!" Looking up at Liu Wei, who was standing on the roof of the house with his back to the dark clouds, all the people shouted in unison.
"Don't hide it from the folks!" People's hatred for the Xiliang Army has been unprecedentedly high, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of the long sword with one hand, and the other hand was tightly clenched into a fist and hung down at his side, and said with a painful expression: "There is no food in Dayang City, in order for more people to live, this king can only transfer most of the grain and grass to the army......"
The people have always taken food as the sky. Hearing that there was no food in Dayang City, the people who had just calmed down were in a bit of a commotion again.
"In order to protect everyone, the soldiers fought bloody battles with the Xiliang army, can you bear to let them go hungry to fight?" As soon as the people were in a commotion, Liu Wei continued to shout: "Officers and soldiers in the army, five buckets of rations per month!" Twenty copper coins! All young men who are willing to join the army can get rations! ”
Liu Wei shouted out the words of five buckets of monthly rations and twenty copper coins for the soldiers, and the commotion of the crowd was a little quieter, and everyone looked up and looked at Liu Bian, who was dressed in gold armor and stood on the roof like a god.
"In order to save grain and grass, ordinary people can only distribute three liters of rations per person per month......" Looking at the people on the street, Liu Wei had a painful look on his face, and said in an extremely sad tone: "This is the best this king can do!" ”
After listening to Liu Wei's words, the nearly 20,000 people present were all stunned, and their eyes were full of blankness, looking at him without blinking.
Five buckets of rations, one person can't eat them at all, and there is still a lot left to support the family, and three liters of rations, even if you drink porridge, will definitely not last for a month.
